amazing stay!

thoughtful decorationcoffee machinecomfortable bed
I loved the room. It was thoughtfully decorated with great attention to detail. the staff provided plenty of teas and coffees with a machine which was a super nice touch! the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean (what more could i ask for?! ).
the picture shown is of a moroccan restaurant. it is misleading and should be removed.
